Mac OS X 10.5.2 iatkos v2.0i and Wi-Fi card problem ...

[MitkOK]

Hi guys.

Just installed the newest iatkos v2.0i on my Compaq Presario C571NR and everything works fine, only my Broadcom 4311 WLAN controller doesn't. I read almost everything about this chip, but didn't solve my problem.

The thing is that in Network utility there is Airport, but when I click the button to enable it nothing happens :

On the other hand I noticed that in my NetworkInterfaces.plist my WLAN is not configure correctly and instead bcm4311 there is string poitnting to atheros:

Forget the NetworkInterfaces.plist stuff, it doesn't apply to you and you will only waste valuable time.

 

Let's start by verifying your actual hardware.

 

Find and install the PCIUtils v3.0.0 (Look in XLabs).

 

Post the output for any wireless adapter listed (broadcom/atheros) from the following command:

lspci -vvnn

 

Post the output of the file /ioreg.txt which is generated from the following command:

sudo ioreg -lw0 >/ioreg.txt

This is the output of ioreg app, but I cannot compile PCIUtils, it tells me that I don't have make.

 

PS: My wifi card work perfectly under XP/Vista adn Hardy Heron with fwcutter and bcmxxx firmware.
